A Funny Thing Happened on the Way to Heaven
A Funny Thing Happened on the Way to Heaven | Corey Taylor
2 posts | 8 read | 2 to read
Corey Taylor has seen a lot of unbelievable things. The Grammy Award-winning singer of Slipknot and Stone Sour's curiosity has drawn him into situations that wouldâe(tm)ve sent most people screaming scared and running for the hills. Coreyâe(tm)s ballsy enough to go into the darkness and deal with the consequences though. As a result, heâe(tm)s seen ghosts up close and personal, whether it be while combing through an abandoned house in his native Iowa as a child or recording an album in the fabled Houdini Hollywood Hills mansion. Heâe(tm)s also got the memories (and scars) to prove it. For some reason, he canâe(tm)t seem to shake these spectral stories, and that brings us to this little tome right here... At the same time, being an erudite, tattooed, modern Renaissance Man, he never bought into the whole God thing. Simply put, heâe(tm)s seen ghosts, but he hasnâe(tm)t seen Jesus. Corey especially canâe(tm)t find a reason why people do the insane things they do in HIS name. Thatâe(tm)s where everything really gets interesting. His second book, A Funny Thing Happened on the Way to Heaven, compiles Coreyâe(tm)s most intimate, incredible, and insane moments with the supernatural. His memories are as vivid as they are vicious. As he recounts these stories, he questions the validity of religious belief systems and two-thousand-year-old dogma. As always his rapid-fire writing, razor sharp sense of humour, unbridled honesty, and cosy anecdotes make quite the case for his point. You might end up believing him or not. Thatâe(tm)s up to you, of course. Either way, youâe(tm)re in for a hell of ride.

So, I love Slipknot, and I love Corey Taylor.
His book can border on pretentious, and it's a bit repetitive, but I like his style, and I still think it's worth a read. He discusses his personal experiences with the paranormal and his theories about the "why" and "how" of it all.

This book was written by Corey Taylor, the singer for Slipknot, a band I know nothing about. Taylor believes in ghosts and that‘s why I checked this book out. Although he has no formal college education, he does have a good head on his shoulders and an open minded curiosity and he‘s had many paranormal experiences in his life. It‘s an interesting book and if you don‘t mind profanity, you‘ll no doubt learn a few things. Four stars
